BAM clarifies mixed doubles coaching situation

KUALA LUMPUR: The Badminton Association of Malaysia (BAM) has clarified their stance on the coaching situation for the national mixed doubles team. Pang Cheh Chang, who was formerly the national junior men's doubles coach, has not yet been appointed as the head coach of the national mixed doubles department. BAM stated today that the appointment has not been finalized.

The association has been searching for a replacement for Nova Widianto, the Indonesian coach who resigned on July 31. The evaluation and vetting process for the candidates under consideration is still ongoing. BAM expressed their desire to make an official announcement once the appointment has been finalized. Earlier, national coaching director Rexy Mainaky had mentioned Japan's men's doubles coach Lee Wan Wah and Hong Kong's Tan Bin Shen (men's doubles) and Jeremy Gan (mixed doubles) as potential candidates.
